Thinking about getting 2 of these with a 800 watt amp for a Polaris Ranger Crew Cab. What size gauge of wire would be the best to use on them. Thanks

Biggest speaker wire you can find.They need a lot of power to drive them properly. And the mounting clamp is huge, you'll need at least a 2" diameter speaker bar to clamp them on.

an 800 watt amp might be a little overkill to drive two of these. I run two of mine on a 400watt pyle marine amp and I can max them out. I just used a regular 16 gauge speaker wire. They sound great!

I utilized 14ga stranded cable designed for exterior lighting since it is going to be in the elements. I also drilled a passage hole in the rear of the speakers mounts just large enough to pass the cable thru so the only section exposed is to the connectors.

Probably a 300-600 watt max amp. I have a 850 watt amp and have gone through 2 of these. Wattage specs may be a little higher than what these can actually handle. 10 gauge for connecting wires.

I am not sure about the guage of the wire...It looks like this kit is ok for car amp's that are less than 400 watts max output.I would not recommend it for high output amps.

No. That's like asking "Can I put 1000lbs in this truck that is only rated for 500lbs?". Doubling the amperage is never a good idea and you'll be lucky if your car doesn't catch on fire. This is only 16ga wire; pulling 20a through 16ga would melt it.

I just used RCA 16 gauge speaker wire I got at Menards. Its heavy enough unless you have a long distance between the speakers and amp.

don't know why but if you want to use something like more than 700watt i recommended you use both of them, because 1 wire might get hot and burn, i just dont know why they don't give 4 gauge wire with this unite.

if your not running any crazy wattage then no problem. this wire is plenty beefy. i have a yamaha 115/channel surround and i have no issues.

I actually used 16 gauge wire. I think 14 would work; it would depend on whether 14 will fit in the speaker wire recepticles. No problem at all with the 16 gauge.

I would also recommend using the proper gauge wire for the amplifier and speakers. Thanks

I used the tree wire but make sure you use the supplied wire in addition to the stock one to help the amps get to your batteries also double check your grounding size wire to make sure it can handle 140amps

I used an 8 gauge wire and it worked fine for me. Just make sure that it is actually 8 gauge of wire, a lot of the time wire gauge is falsely advertised.

You may want to purchase a bit heavier wire if you are running them a long distance I would suggest 8-10 gauge. Also wiring is simple, hot wire off the switch to the lights and the ground off the switch to the lights, then of course power wire to the switch. I purchased these for my 55 F100 and they are really cool.

Tuff q. Cause there's many variables u have to look at like I got mine wired for 2. ohm with 0 Guage and got 2 amps a kicker 1100 and a weird brand that's 2500 but both are 2 ohm stable I wish I could have 6000 watts to match my subs but my car is a Volvo and not much room to upgrade my alinator to be able to pull 6000 watts bUT deff. Do 0 Guage so u don't ever have to upgrade u r wiring anymore that's your I did it... if u want shoot me a call or text be a lot easier to explain than a huge paragraph or a lot of info .. 5098287627

12 gauge is what I'm running to them with 400 watts. Works great. Have 6 of them in an H2 sounds good. No problems.

What is the best wire for these speakers 12 or 14 gage.my sony receiver puts out 135 per channel.

It greatly depends on just how far away from the battery you plan on mounting them. If you have a typical off road truck and are using a roof mount at the back of the cab, you are going to need more wire. The wire included is for a simple front mount. The red wire is 8' with an inline fuse. Green, same length. Blue wire ~3.5'. I did not use the wire included.

The company recommends a 2.0cubed ft, also recommended to be tuned for 36hz. For the Amp it really depends. I went with the companys Amp the PA BAMF-4000 watt series (which doesn't actually putout that high of a number). But it still puts out a high watt. Literally, this system eats at power so quick, at first time I installed it I killed my alternator and battery less than 10mins and the car was running. This system has serious power if your car can provide it. I'm running at a safe 1600watts for my cars sake.
